The South African Police Service in the North West
Colonel Lesego Metsi said community members
need to report crime in the area and not take the law into their own
hands.
Metsi said there have been three incidents
of vigilantism recently whereby the last one was a man that was stoned to death
by residents in Mafikeng after he had allegedly killed his
girlfriend.
He added that when police arrived at the
scene the man was already dead and some people were arrested and they are
expected to appear in court on the 18th
of August 2013 .
